From a 911 perspective, I guess one would be better off shooting the car
thief BEFORE calling 911...

All kidding aside, I was always under the impression that the chip in the
key on the EX models made them a little less desireable to car thieves,
hence that is why the statistics showed non-EX Hondas being stolen. Have I
been under a false sense of security with my 2000 Accord EX V6 Coupe and
relying on the factory alarm to protect it all these years? Naturally, I
always have my auto insurance to protect me if it is stolen by receiving
somewhere between wholesale value and blue book in the event that my car
does disappear.
